  9. Every JC user has a ‘w’ drive. Any file saved on the ‘w’ drive is accessible from the internet. For example, this powerpoint can be accessed here: http://www.jc.edu/users/jbear/pptteacherpages.pptx JC’s webserver, and most webservers, are configured so that a file named index.html or index.htm will be the default file. So, as soon as you save an html file named index into your W: drive, your webpage will be accessible. On JC Campus
  10. Sometimes, when creating web pages regardless of yourmethod, you are going to have to look at the source code. The source code is organized using tags. A tag is a word or letters between carets. So, <body> is a tag as is <style>. Most tags have a closing tag such as </body>. The idea is that everything between the opening and closing tag is controlled by that tag. Tags
